+1 for both RMOUG and GLOC. See https://gloc.neooug.org/ for this year's
GLOC sessions.

RMOUG in February always has a good lineup of talks by and for DBAs; same
with GLOC in May.

Out of curiosity, now that Quest swallowed IOUG, and Collaborate is
significantly less DBA-Focused (I agree with Jeff, it was already becoming
less and less for DBAs), what conferences are DBAs going to instead? Is
there a good DBA-Focused conference, besides OpenWorld?
I wanted to do a “MySQL For the Oracle RAC DBA” presentation, since that’s
what I was looking for at the last Collaborate. :D

To be honest was not a fan but also doesn't matter too much as this was
the first year I decided to not renew my membership. I wasn't finding any
value in the membership, the webinars seemed to be less and less, I stopped
reading the Select Journal when it moved to an electronic format (just
personal preference), and the website had a lack of community involvement.
I've attended Collaborate 3 times, and as a DBA in a company that does not
have any Oracle "Apps" nor have any plans to use Oracle Cloud the
conference was providing less of a value. It seemed the DBA related
sessions were less and less and mostly focused on the Cloud. Which I get as
that is Oracle's push, but just not for our company until maybe one day we
are forced. Also I always felt overwhelmed by the disproportion amount of
"apps" people from Quest and OAUG versus the DBA's from IOUG. Was harder to
find good conversations. I was kind of hoping IOUG would go the other way
and own its own from the conference perspective. If I attend another
conference it will probably be RMOUG or ODTUG as those just seem to make
more sense for what we focus on. But I've meet some great people through
IOUG and it could actually be better under Quest. Just my two cents. I'll
continue to keep and eye on it as it goes.
